A Curtain Rises: archaeology and the rediscovery of Seaton Delaval Hall

Masham Town Hall, Little Market Place, Masham

19:30

Since the National Trust acquired Seaton Delaval Hall in 2009, archaeological research has underpinned urgent conservation work at the property and along the way has radically rewritten our understanding of what Vanbrugh (and many others) created with the Delaval family in the eighteenth century. It has also helped to design – and now deliver – the currently underway £7.8m HLF-funded conservation and restoration project, Curtain Rises (with its over 90 pieces of archaeological work !).
